Jon Kukla Presents: Patrick Henry: His Eloquence is the Smallest Part of His Merit

This event is sponsored by Greenwood Library. Jon Kukla's most recent book, Patrick Henry: Champion of Liberty (Simon & Schuster, 2017) is recognized as the definitive biography of the great patriot. Recipient of the Virginia Historical Society's annual Slatten Award for Biography, it was also a finalist for the distinguished George Washington Prize and for the Library of Virginia's People's Choice Award. His previous books include Mr. Jefferson's Women (Knopf 2007) and A Wilderness So Immense: The Louisiana Purchase and the Destiny of America (Knopf 2003). All three were Book-of-the-Month and History Book Club selections. Reception and book signing to follow.
